This certificate is approved by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) – UK. An all-in hands-on tender driver course & qualification for the professional yacht crew. There are two courses that are recognised by the MCA, this one and the recreational power boat level 2 by the RYA.

The IYT Small Powerboat & RIB Master (Power Boat 2 equivalent) certificates do not require a commercial endorsement because they are commercial certificates. We are the only school offering a night sailing experience in your Powerboat course! This course includes 1 night sailing session. To the best of our knowledge, we are the only school in Europe offering a night session on a Powerboat 2 / Small Powerboat & Rib Master level. Take this chance and explore the Ria Formosa by night. Entry Standard: the Candidate should be 16 years of age or over; 18 if being used commercially. Assessment: will be continuous over the programme. The training is competency based and the candidate will be assessed on demonstrating the correct competencies and knowledge throughout the course.
